Since Mac is basically a Unix/Linux system, you have lots of choices of Open Source software which is often free. Take a look at NeoOffice for a free Word equivalent. There is so much less support needed for a Mac. It is the best. All Mac, all the time.

Windows has a lot. Why is Mac running windows and PC is not running Mac? My family bought me an iPhone for my birthday, when I call tech support they don't know how to run the phone. I have to call several times to get the right answer. Click and drag is so convenient and the frustrations of loading everything into iTunes then syncing is way too much for me. besides if you have a Mac desktop and a PC, (maybe a laptop) then the two iTunes don't match. What ever you do. Please, please, please support your local economy. You’re right about the programs. Windows has a lot. Why is Mac running windows and PC is not running Mac?

All I know is when I submit to editors, they are all on PC and want things in Word. Okay, so I'm chicken. We used to be all Mac. Then went all PC. When I see my friend's Mac's, they still look the same as they did way back when. Eerie. Dying to know how it all comes out. t. Mary – Looking on with interest.

Since you're proficient on a PC, you won't need a guide dog on a Mac 2. The mac equipment isn't legendary in the way you're thinking but their service & support is. Since you're not tied to a network, go with a Mac and look into a program called Parallels Hope this helps you decide. I'm one of the PC support people in your past PS - I'm a Windows guy w/ a mac at home - but don't tell anyone! :) Mary,
